After a lobbying campaign by Mayor Ed Lee, “Star Wars” creator George Lucas is once again looking to San Francisco as a possible home for a museum housing his collection of illustrative art and Hollywood memorabilia — this time on a site already approved for development on Treasure Island.
Lucas has renewed his interest in the city because his latest museum proposal — for a futuristic structure on the shores of Lake Michigan in Chicago — is on life support. Open space advocates like those who helped spike his earlier plans for a Beaux Arts-style monument near Presidio’s Crissy Field have Lucas’ Chicago plan hopelessly entangled, legally and politically.
Lee and Lucas have already met to talk about a move to Treasure Island, and now a preferred site has emerged on the west side, facing downtown. This week, the mayor plans to send a letter to the movie mogul formally inviting him to consider building his museum of narrative arts there.
One thing Lee has going for him: There are far fewer regulatory hurdles to clear than there were at the Presidio.
“I never gave up on the idea” of building the Lucas museum in San Francisco, Lee said. “We have a chance to bring it back, and I want to be open and positive about it.”
